Seizures
Methylphenidate Treatment and Risk of Seizure
Methylphenidate is a stimulant medication used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Patients with ADHD are usually at a higher risk of seizures, but the effect of methylphenidate on the risk of seizures is...
Epilepsy.
The management of epilepsy during pregnancy involves optimizing seizure control for the mother, while ensuring the best outcome for the developing fetus. Preconception counseling regarding contraception, folic acid, and...
Neurological consultations and diagnoses in a large, dedicated COVID-19 university hospital.
More than one-third of COVID-19 patients present neurological symptoms ranging from anosmia to stroke and encephalopathy. Furthermore, pre-existing neurological conditions may require special treatment and may be associated with...
Evaluation of ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 enzyme levels in patients with epilepsy.
Ubiquitin C-terminal Hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1) enzyme levels were investigated in patients with epilepsy, epileptic seizure, remission period, and healthy individuals.Three main groups were evaluated, including epileptic seizure,...
Evaluation of interobserver variability in application of the new neonatal seizure classification proposed by the ILAE Task Force.
Clinical identification of neonatal seizures (NS) remains challenging. The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Task Force on Neonatal Seizures has proposed a new classification of NS, based on the 2017 ILAE seizure...
Seizures and quinolone antibiotics in children: a systematic review of adverse events.
Quinolone antibiotics have a broad spectrum of activity including against Gram-negative organisms (especially ), but their use has been associated with the development of seizures. Our objective was to evaluate the association...

To analyze the improvement of clinical symptoms and recovery of neurological function in adult Japanese encephalitis, and study the prognostic factors. Follow-up was conducted for 112 hospitalized patients with Japanese...
The features of neonatal seizures as predictors of drug-resistant epilepsy in children.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of the features of neonatal seizures for pharmacoresistant epilepsy in children.This is a retrospective study that involved all children diagnosed as having epilepsy who...
Post-placement Lead Deformation Secondary to Cerebrospinal Fluid Loss in Transventricular Trajectory During Responsive Neurostimulation Surgery.
Responsive nerve stimulation (RNS) represents a safe and effective treatment option for patients with medically refractory temporal lobe epilepsy. In cases of long intraparenchymal course and posterior-anterior electrode...
Tumors Masquerading as Neurological Diseases: A Caution for Clinicians in Planning Diagnosis and Treatment.
Neurological diseases can be due to direct diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) or peripheral nervous system (PNS) or be a bystander syndrome of systemic diseases. Treatment options depend on the cause. Toxic, metabolic...
Chance and risk in epilepsy.
Epilepsy is a dynamical disorder of the brain characterized by sudden, seemingly unpredictable transitions to the ictal state. When and how these transitions occur remain unresolved questions in neurology.Modelling work based on...
